In a significant move towards sustainable energy, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has announced plans for a Waste-to-Energy facility at Ghazipur, one of the city's major landfills. The project will operate under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, emphasizing scientific waste management and energy production.
This initiative, as per the Notice Inviting Tenders dated July 9, aligns with the Solid Waste Management Rules of 2016.
